Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 99 - 99 99 Opportunity

99: Chapter 99: Opportunity 99: Chapter 99: Opportunity In the Western Spiritual Mountain, the Buddha fell silent upon receiving the message from the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

A question kept echoing in his mind-

Why did Hong Ren attack Jiang Chen after saving Sun Wukong?

Was he out of his mind, not knowing the consequences of creating more complications?

Hong Ren was the name of the Buddhist expert who attacked Jiang Chen.

At this moment, his death not only failed to evoke the Buddha’s sympathy, but it also filled the Buddha with extraordinary anger.

If it weren’t for the fact that Hong Ren was already dead, the Buddha wouldn’t mind killing him again.

If he hadn’t attacked Jiang Chen, would there have been so many problems?

He created more problems than he solved.

After his anger, the Buddha couldn’t help but contemplate how to resolve the matter.

He didn’t worry about Jiang Chen’s safety.

With his power, he naturally deduced that not only would Jiang Chen arrive safely at the source of the Underworld River, but he would also encounter a stroke of luck.

What truly troubled the Buddha was how to account for this incident to the Jiang Family.

Unlike others, the Buddha’s relationship with the Jiang Family was not insignificant.

On the contrary, his relationship with the Jiang Family was incredibly intimate.

In his past life, the Buddha was Duobao, the supreme disciple of the Jiejiao Sect.

Duobao had once instructed Shennong, the Earth Emperor, for a time, thus making him one of his teachers.

Given this connection, the Buddha’s relationship with the Jiang Family was naturally special.

That’s why, when dealing with matters related to the Jiang Family, the Buddha acts with the utmost caution.

One careless move could jeopardize the friendship between the two families.

“Sigh!”

“What a hassle!”

The Buddha sighed and instructed Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, “Bodhisattva, the young man from the Jiang Family will be fine.

You can focus on healing Sun Wukong.”

“As for how to wrap up this matter, I will send Sunlight Junior Brother to assist you.”

The Sunlight Junior Brother in the Buddha’s words was the Sunlight Bodhisattva, a member of the Buddhist faction.

This man was not simple; he was a disciple of Saint Zhunti himself, a disciple of the ancient western sect, and a true lineage holder of Buddhism.

In a sense, he could also be considered Sun Wukong’s senior fellow disciple.

It was most appropriate for him to handle the aftermath of this incident.

As for the Buddha, he was, of course, heading to the Heaven Court.

It had been a long time since the incident, and the Jiang Family should have received the news.

There was no need for Jiang Chen to lodge a formal complaint; the Sun Star Lord in the Heaven Court would naturally act on his behalf.

As the one involved in the incident, it was fitting for the Buddha to go to the Heaven Court to apologize and offer compensation as needed.

…

Just as the Buddha set off for the Heaven Court, in the boundless starry sky, the Sun Star Lord, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly emerged from the Sun Temple.

Whoosh…

The Great Sun Golden Palanquin carrying the Sun Star Lord surged through the boundless sea of fire, rising from the Sun Star and turning into a golden light, speeding towards the Heaven Court.

Boom…

The dazzling Sun True Fire bloomed from the Great Sun Golden Palanquin, almost reddening half of the sky.

This was the rage of the Sun Star Lord.

At this moment, all the celestial deities who witnessed this scene knew that something significant had happened.

How many years has it been since they last saw the Sun Star Lord so angry?

“Look, the complainant is here.”

In the Jade Pool, sensing the rage of the Sun Star Lord, the Jade Emperor stood up with a resigned look on his face, along with the Queen Mother, to go into the Lingxiao Palace to wait for the arrival of the Sun Star Lord.

Seeing this, the rest of the celestial deities also moved towards the Heaven Court one after another, waiting for the drama to unfold.

At the same time, in the great wilderness of the Jiang Family, the elder patriarch of the Jiang family suddenly stood up and headed towards the Netherworld.

For a while, there was a flurry of activity on all sides.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen, the one who caused all of this to happen, was using all his strength to swim towards the source of the Underworld River.

Jiang Chen’s original plan was to hide at the bottom of the Underworld River for a while and wait for the experts from the Jiang Family to arrive.

Once they confirmed that he was safe, he would venture out again.

However, soon after he sank into the Three Abysses, the Tao Mirror suddenly began to tremble violently, guiding Jiang Chen towards the source of the Underworld River.

Jiang Chen was familiar with this reaction from the Tao Mirror.

It behaved the same way when he encountered a fragment of the Pangu Axe last time.

Clearly, either a fragment of the Pangu Axe or the Chaos Pearl was at the source of the Underworld River.

Once he made this discovery, Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate and used all his might to swim towards the source of the Underworld River.

The Underworld River originated from beneath the Nine Abysses, the very bottom layer of Heaven and Earth, and the deepest part of the Netherworld, making it the place with the most Yin energy.

It could only be compared to the Taiyin Star.

Jiang Chen travelled downwards against the current.

After an unknown amount of time passed, he had a sudden feeling of intense cold, and his body almost froze.

He abruptly stopped, observing his surroundings.

He noticed that the Abyssal Water around him had transformed from three shades of darkness into six shades.

Six Abyssal Water!

The Underworld River here had transformed into the Six Abyssal Water, which was why it was so cold.

Collecting himself, Jiang Chen pushed his inner moonlight power to its fullest potential.

Instantly, pure and extreme innate Taiyin power surged out from his dantian area, coursing through his entire body in an instant, countering the coldness brought by the Six Abyssal Water.

After adjusting to the coldness, Jiang Chen continued his journey downwards.

Under the pitch-black Underworld River, aside from the gurgling water currents, there weren’t any other sounds.

In this place, he couldn’t sense the passage of time, only the endless solitude.

After what felt like an eternity, a flash of light suddenly appeared before Jiang Chen’s eyes.

As he approached it, he saw that the light was being emitted from a patch of clear water.

The light that Jiang Chen saw was indeed emitted by this water.

The water radiated a beautiful, nebulous glow.

For a moment, Jiang Chen stared at it, mesmerized.

Suddenly, an intense blast of frigid coldness emerged from his eyes and permeated his body, threatening to freeze his soul and extinguish his vitality.

It was in this moment of freezing cold that Jiang Chen saw nine shadows looming ominously over the water patch.

Nine Abyssal Weak Water, one of the ten legendary divine waters from the Prehistoric World!

Jiang Chen instantly realized where he was.

However, it was too late.

The coldness had already entered his body, threatening to drain his vitality.

In the pivotal moment, his Tao Mirror trembled, driving away the cold and saving Jiang Chen’s life.

“How powerful!” Jiang Chen cried out, his face pale from fear.

The path of cultivation is indeed fraught with dangers.

A mere body of water almost took his life.

Truly terrifying.

Coming to his senses, Jiang Chen was fairly certain that the fragment of the Pangu Axe or the Chaos Pearl was within the Nine Abyssal Weak Water.

But with his strength, he struggled even to cross the Six Abyssal Water, not to mention crossing the Nine Abyssal Weak Water, which seemed impossible.

With that in mind, Jiang Chen resumed his human form, jumped into the Tao Mirror, and maneuvered the treasure towards the Nine Abyssal Weak Water.

Jiang Chen might not be able to cross the Nine Abyssal Weak Water, but the Tao Mirror could.
